Publisher Description
A Georgia woman inherits her hometown’s run-down airport, and a shot at love—from the USA Today–bestselling author of the Monroe Series.
At eighteen, Olivia Daniels left Haven, Georgia, behind and never looked back. Doggedly climbing the corporate ladder, she’s finally nearing the top when her father dies, leaving her part-owner of the run-down airport that was his first love. It’s a complication Olivia intends to wrap up quickly, buying out her co-owner and selling the land. Good thing her two childhood best friends are with her for moral support. Because one look at her new partner is proof that her tidy plan has hit turbulence…
Jackson Morgan practically grew up in Haven’s airport, and no one could have been a better mentor than Olivia’s dad. While flight is in Jackson’s blood, his roots are firmly planted, and there’s no way he’s giving up the airport—not even for sassy, headstrong Olivia, his childhood crush. Coming to an agreement won’t be easy, especially when the attraction between them soars to new heights every day. Love definitely wasn’t on the itinerary, but it could be enough to keep them together for a lifetime trip...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this solid spin-off from her Monroes series, Bennett (Lost in You) revisits the small town of Haven, Ga. Corporate climber Olivia Daniels returns from Atlanta to sell her childhood home and her estranged father's business, a local airport. She's stymied by sexy pilot Jax Morgan, her father's loyal prot g and devoted single dad of adorable four-year-old Piper. Jax intends to continue his mentor's legacy and refuses to sell his half of the airport. When Olivia's girlfriends suggest a joint business venture refurbishing the airport, the two opponents seek common ground; however, the sparks flying between them prove distracting. Supporting characters provide strong friendships and amusing subplots, including Jax's sheriff friend giving Olivia's lawyer friend a speeding ticket that leads to testy flirtation. Bennett's repeated restating of her protagonists' priorities (her promotion, his daughter) and their apparently irreconcilable conflict ("Livie was wanting to go one way, and he wanted to go another") slows the narrative's pace, but the convincing chemistry between the lovers builds to playful, humorous sex scenes and touching domestic moments. Readers will hope for Bennett to continue telling Haven's love stories.
